Greetings, fellow adventurers! This is the Elin State of the Game editorial team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d like to share Elin-related news that have been sent in from all over Ylva this month as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the April issue of “Elin State of the Game,” out on Nyan Nyan Day (the 22nd), as always. Amidst the cheerful and boisterous crowds of people enjoying the warm weather, a shadow looms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Nyanth\u2019s Update<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Check it all out!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last month, many new races arrived in North Tyris. You might see unfamiliar figures in the streets, fields, and festival grounds.
Meanwhile, it seems that suspicious potions have also begun circulating secretly.
(For details on all updates, see\u00a0Ylvapedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mommy!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This information comes from an anonymous adventurer. Apparently, a new potion has been developed at a bakery in Mysilia that makes you feel like a baby, body and soul.
We went to investigate, but the adventurer we were supposed to meet there was nowhere to be seen. The only person we found at the bakery was the owner, a madam, comforting a baby.
The bakery is small and unassuming, but we’d like to recommend it as a hidden gem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Item: “Party Formation Board”<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Good news for adventurers traveling in large groups! With the Party Formation Board, you can now instantly summon pre-registered party members.
You can switch between multiple parties or gather your usual members after solo missions in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monster Sighting Warning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a warning from the Mysilia Immigration Bureau. Recently, a werewolf, a monster that disguises itself as a human and attacks, has been sighted among the increasing number of beast-human immigrants in North Tyris.
There have also been reports of attackers targeting random, unsuspecting victims and individuals acting erratically and scattering money. Please exercise caution even within town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Official Illustration Introduction ~ Lumiest Gallery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As is customary every month, we’re featuring illustrations by Elin illustrator NZ. This time, we’re showcasing seven mini-illustrations for Steam achievements that our editorial team has secretly obtained.
The two illustrations on the left are the ones actually used for Willow’s pie. It’s interesting to see the trial and error that went into the appearance and ingredients of the pie that Ashland raves about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Official Music Introduction ~ Palmia Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next up is a piece by Elin composer NINO.
The piece we’re introducing today is the hymn “Horome of Moonshadow.” Please listen carefully, imagining the sad yet beautiful figure of the goddess dancing under the moonlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi, it’s NINO!

Horome of Moonshadow\u2019s hymn was a song that Horome sang alone under a cherry tree on a moonlit night, to mourn Yufu, in the agony of having killed him, and with the sword that had killed him by her side.

It reached her followers, was sung and passed down, and when everyone had forgotten about Yufu, that song eventually became Horome of Moonshadow’s hymn.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
